PLATYPUS PLAYGROUND - WILDLIFE HABITAT

First time offered in 35 years, this oasis of classic Australian sub-tropical bushland is located 4 minutes from the charming village of Burringbar, just over half an hour from Byron Bay and 15 minutes to the township of Murwillumbah.

With two (approved) houses on the property, each with private sealed driveways, the main residence was built in 1984 and designed by an award winning, Byron Bay Architect. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom the contemporary, open plan residence was designed to capitalise on its scenic setting.

The interior floorplan flows seamlessly to a huge Easterly deck that overlooks the peaceful natural surrounds and is perfectly positioned to capture the fresh sea breezes. To the south, is a sheltered covered southerly courtyard that is designed to maximise the winter sun, while also featuring a quintessential Aussie brick barbecue area.

The second residence, also with its own private, sealed driveway also features a contemporary open plan design that opens out to extensive decks. Spacious, with 3-bedrooms, the house is framed by a majestic Black Bean tree that creates an impressive ambience. This house is currently rented, with both houses on the property in good condition and recently painted.

Tropical Fruit Farm
The property boasts an extraordinary variety and quantity of fruit trees as it was previously a commercial tropical fruit farm. Some of the trees include 7o Fuji fruit trees, 12 rose apple trees, 60 mango trees, banana & peach trees, 12 Pomelo (Malaysian variety) trees, 20 Thai seedless Guava trees, a Candle Nut tree, 6 Davidson Plum trees, a Seville Orange tree and a range of other exotic fruit trees.

Importantly, there is ample water supply on the property with 3 dams, including a huge 1.5 megalitre dam, two 10,000 gallon water tanks (for the main house ), and one 10,000 gallon water tank for the second house, each with an electric pump connected to the houses. There are also two sheds; one a garden shed and the other a tractor shed.

Wildlife Habitat - A Natures Lovers Paradise
The surrounding unspoilt nature and abundance of birdlife and native animals is what sets this property apart. From iconic kookaburras, koalas, platypuses, long neck turtles, wallabies, echidnas, bower birds, parrots and owls, the range of native animals creates the ambience of a rare and natural sanctuary.

With two substantial houses, this property provides a range of possibilities with the potential to accommodate your extended family or friends or you may like to enjoy a passive income from the second home.
